This conclusion chapter examines the critical preservation challenges facing Cappadocia’s vast network of rock-cut structures, historically utilized as refuges during Byzantine-era Arab incursions. Despite their immense cultural value, the sheer number of underground shelters and churches renders comprehensive restoration unfeasible due to insufficient governmental resources and personnel. The chapter critiques current management strategies, contrasting successful tourism-driven models in Saratlı with failed administrative efforts in Kayseri. It argues that physical barriers are ineffective without guarding and that commercial repurposing is ill-suited for religious sites. Keywords Cappadocia, Cultural Heritage Preservation, Rock-cut Structures, Heritage Management.
